This was three hours so well spent. Demetra was the perfect combination of informative and entertaining all while teaching us not only about Florence’s history but also traditional food traditions. She led us to several fantastic food stops where we enjoyed cantucci, pasta, gelato and more.
Eight friends joined Demetra for an educational walk through Florence, stopping along the way to eat some authentically made food. We started with samples of cantucci and Holly wine which were outstanding. At the market we learned a lot about various foods and decided to try a selection of incredible fresh pasta and sauces. Wow! Some of us were intrigued by the tripe and tried a traditional sandwich. Of course we concluded at an historic gelateria and we were not disappointed. What a wonderful morning!
Many thanks for your beautiful review. All the best and I hope to see you again someday. Demetra
<p>This tour was awesome. We got to go to the marketplace. We tried pizza, lazana and wine. We also went to a gelato place, coffee bar and what is considered fast food in Italy. Definitely a nice tour.</p>
